Yes Ma'am....me too, but itching is GOOD its a sign of healing :P

I am so itchy around them

Mine were so itchy it drove me crazy! It goes away after a couple of days. Cortizone helped a little. I heard or read somewhere (after they no longer itched of course!) to slap them LIGHTLY. Let me know if it works. Hope the itchies go away for you soon!

Oh yes, I've been dealing with the itchies too!

I did too and got the rest of the glue off today. All better now!

Itchy, but that's good. No complications, & they're a lot less gross than I thought they'd be. Can't wait to start Mederma after a but more healing. Try not to germ them up w/your fingers.

Yes itchiness becuz your incisions are healing and drying up

OK now what about the glue. Because the nurse called me a few day after I was release and said it will just come off. Did anyone here different. Because I want it off 9 days post

Mine didn't fall off... It needed a little help. It didn't hurt and my incisions were healed underneath. Feels so much better.
